The reason i ask i am able to buy a AR6210 for £33 new but i dont want to be spending money for the sake of it lol

Hiya all. I currently have a orange 6 channel reciever fitted to my ST Model Discovery and was wondering if i should infact buy a an AR6210? am i dicing with death using a orange receiver because im sure its not a full range model. Cheers Chris

Ok had my 1st ever flight yestarday..run 2 battereies through it and on the final battery had a bad landing and broke the prop..New prop on the way and i was going to learn how to fly on my own but now decided to join a local club for help..Any ideas on how much these clubs charge to join??

Arghhhh i wish this crap weather would give it a rest...Still awaiting my 1st flight..Perhaps i should of bought a boat instead lololol

sorry if i sound a bit dumb..but do you mean you adjusted the tranny and measured the movement with a micrometer?

Thanks for that rusty but the book doesnt have any transmitter settings at all?

Ok i have just finished of sorting out my discovery and im getting ready ready to fly her this week. Anyone got any good base settings for a DX6i for a newbie?? At the moment the tranny is set as standard. cheers Chris

A friend is giving me one of his spare XTs plug so im going to solder that on... Cant wait to fly her

Ok put the picked the disco up this morning from the post office and she is now built..Only trouble is it came with deans connectors and my batteries are XTs...lololol Edited By nescafe37 on 23/06/2012 20:58:12

Cheers for the info JohnSom. Anymore tips from anyone else??? The more the better lol

Well my Discovery has arrived but its at the post office now and i cant collect it until saturday due to my working hours and there opening hours.... How crap is that?? lol

ok looks like i will be ordering a ST Models Discovery this weekend. Does anyone no if a 6 channel orange reciever will fit?? Cheers Chris

Sadly looks like the mentor will be out of my price range for now

Ok Guys my helicopter auction is about to end so will have some spending money...Yippppeeee

Im selling my Tarot/Trex 450 pro to fund my first plane.. Take a lookie **LINK**

Well i still have not bought a plane yet as it looks like the only way to fund it will to be to sell my Helis.. Now i have been flying my MCPX and trying to hover my 450 Pro but its costing me a fortune in repairs. I just cant seem to get it right. I also have Pheonix Flight Sim and i am the same trying to hover the helis on there.. But i seemed to be able to fly the airplanes with no problems including taking off and landing...Now my question is is it really easier to fly and land a plane than hover a helicopter?? Cheers Chris

Ok looks like the Wot 4 Foam-e looks like the one for me. Now how do you know when you are ready to move on the a different airplane? Ultimately i will want to head towards scale flying but i am unsure of what sort of aircraft you would go through to get there? I mean what would be after the foam-e? And do you think after 1 year of flying the foam-e you would be ready to move on to the next step?? Sorry for all the questions but coming from helis i know there is a lot to learn and takes absolutly ages to start getting any good at flying. lol

both look pretty good at first glance although the mentor needs 3200 lipos and mine are only 2200. I didnt really want to fork out for extra batteries if i could help it.. Cheers for the ifo so far guys.. Keep em coming

oh i also already have a DX6i do no tranny needed

Hiya all. Well 1st a little about myself. My name is chris and i started of with R/C Touring cars about 10 years ago and then last year decided to try the mad world of electric Helis. Now i have been flying a Tarot 450 pro(not very well though lol) for a couple of months but i just dont seem to enjoy flying helis as much as i thought i would. To put it simple i dont find it fun. Now i have always loved airplanes since a child but have never actually flown one but i am thinking of converting over to airplanes now as i think i will enjoy it more than the helis. The only real reason i got into helis was because a couple of friends have them but my true love has always been airplanes. So i am asking you lot what sort of plane should a go for 1st? I want to try and stick to electric as i have some 3s 2200 lipos and charger already for my helis so what do you people suggest? Are foamies a good way to start? What about the parkzone Spits?? Any good for a newbie? Looking forward to your answers fellas Cheers Chris
